Over the next four years the economy will continue to rebound and we will gradually get deficits under control. The real esate market will rebound, unemployment will fall to 6.5% or below, and GDP growth will stand at 3.5 - 4%. We won't be in any wars. And conservatives will still be whining.

Suuuure they don't. I recall Conservatives bragging when Romney took a two point lead in one single poll. Since then, no Republican beats Obama in any poll and now"polls don't matter."

Just watch ... even after the GOP narrows it down to one candidate and Obama still leads him, then the mantra will be, "the only poll that matters is the one in November." And then when Obama wins that poll too, it will be, "Obama voters are stupid."

The haggardness of poverty is everywhere seen contrasted with the sleekness of wealth, the exhorted labor of some compensating for the idleness of others, wretched hovels by the side of stately colonnades, the rags of indigence blended with the ensigns of opulence; in a word, the most useless profusion in the midst of the most urgent wants.Jean-Baptiste Say

Re: US economy creates 243,000 jobs in January

You are correct, however, that hasn't stopped many conservatives from touting poll results that show Obama getting beat by "X Candidate".

In addition, the polls won't matter until there is a Republican nominee AND a VP candidate as well. Even then, the only poll that is really going to matter is the one where people actually go vote for a candidate.

I'm sorry, I never saw the question. Dodd-Frank put on too many regulations on businesses.

How'd they do that? Until 2007, they were in the minority party. And what did Bush's spending have to do with it?

I'm not following what you're trying to say..
